The 2025 Fanny Mendelssohn Composition Prize has been awarded to a 29-year-old Hungarian, Abigél Varga.
She receives 10,000 euros and a commission to compose a chamber music work for zither and trumpet.
Since the announcement was made in Berlin, an irony-free zone, you’d better believe it. Can’t wait to hear the outcome.
